Sometimes achieving a goal requires considerable hard work, while other times success must come easily. Yet, in both scenarios, it\u2019s impossible to realize the role of luck as a key factor in the outcome. This collection will show you their experiences that perfectly illustrate this idea.<\/p>\n
Story 1:
\nMy wife and I were returning from a party at 2 AM when our car di:ed in a remote area. There were no mobiles then, so we waited. An hour later, a college student passed by and drove us to town. We offered money but he said, \u201cHappy to help.\u201d<\/p>\n
Years later, my wife called in tears. With a shaky voice she told me to open the news. Turns out that student was actually a 35-year-old man who had robbed over 30 people in forests and abandoned areas, targeting drivers late at night.<\/p>\n
I had chills when I saw that he had been wanted by the police in several states. His methods were chillingly clever\u2014he\u2019d either pretend to be a lost hiker to hitch a ride or pick people up in his own car. After gaining their trust, he\u2019d rob them of everything and leave them stranded in the middle of nowhere.<\/p>\n
To this day, we don\u2019t know why he didn\u2019t rob us. Maybe it was because there were two of us, or perhaps because I was tall and muscular, which might have intimidated him. Whatever the reason, we were incredibly lucky to have walked away unharmed.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
